Workshop on “Sustainable and Smart Energy Carriers for Decentralised Energy Production”
16 March 2017 - 17 March 2017
In the distributed energy production scenario the role of Smart Energy Carriers (SECs) becomes of outmost relevance in terms of local availability and of their potential use in the available technology. The need of SECs conversion system integration in the energy grid to moderate the effect of intermittency of renewable energy increases the relevance of a thorough and widely shared knowledge on the many possible interactions among production and distribution layers of the grid.
The workshop aimed at triggering a wide-ranging discussion among people from industry and research field on SECs feasibility on a large scale. The main topics were related to barriers to H2 (plus NH3) economy, waste and solid fuel valorisation, decentralizing energy production systems, techno-economical analysis for SECs sustainability and challenges in data mining associated to decentralized production.
The final program of the workshop can be downloaded here.
The workshop was divided in three main sessions in the followings some the presented contribution are reported.
